#AirdropStepByStep
To use AirDrop, ensure both your device and the recipient's device have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. Open an app, tap the Share button, then choose AirDrop and select the recipient. The recipient will receive a notification and can accept or decline the item.
Here's a more detailed step-by-step guide:
1. Enable AirDrop on both devices:
Make sure both devices (iPhone, iPad, or Mac) have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.
If you're using a Mac, you can also enable AirDrop in the Finder sidebar.
2. On the sending device:
Open the item you want to share: This could be a photo, video, document, or other file from the app you are using.
Tap the Share button (box with an arrow) .
Select AirDrop: You will see a list of nearby devices that can accept AirDrop.
Choose the recipient: Tap on the name or icon of the device you want to share with.
If you are sending to an iPhone 11 or later, point your iPhone towards the recipient's iPhone, tap their profile picture, and then tap "Send", as noted by Asurion.
3. On the receiving device:
You will receive a notification: that someone is sending an item via AirDrop.
Tap "Accept" or "Decline": If you accept, the item will be saved to your device's default location (e.g., Photos, Downloads).
If you decline, the item will not be transferred.
